A
message from Mother Mary. NOTE: This
dictation was given on 01/01/08 as part of the
Shangra-la conference in Los Angeles, California.
My beloved hearts I, Mary, come to give you
the sealing dictation of this conference. And
I come with the joy that was reflected in the
music you just heard, the flowing joy that is
brought about by the fact that you have been
willing to come together physically in one place,
but more importantly to come to a greater degree
of oneness. For, my beloved, as you come together
in one place, you have the opportunity to achieve
a greater degree of physical union and oneness
than you have when you are separated throughout
the world. Certainly, my beloved, there is a
union of minds of the people around the world
who study the websites and give the rosaries.
But there is immense value in coming together
in a physical place to achieve a more physical
union.
And
when you do come together, and you give rosaries,
and you have discussions, and you participate,
and you talk during breaks, then you achieve
– if you are willing – that union.
And this conference is a wonderful example of
that higher degree, what we might call a more
perfect union, my beloved. And so I commend
you for your willingness to come into that oneness.
For this is the oneness that allows us to use
that oneness – that you provide in the
physical – as an open door, as a platform,
for releasing more or less light during a conference.
So the more people come together and the greater
degree of union they achieve, the more light
we of the Ascended Host can release to the planet
for that particular conference.
And this conference has provided us a wonderful
opportunity to release a very large, an almost
infinite, amount of light as you, my beloved,
heard reflected between the lines of the Buddha's
dictation yesterday, which truly was a more
powerful release than we can release in many
instances.
Understanding cycles leading to 2012
So, my beloved, I come to give you some thoughts
that might be pertinent for your decree work,
for your prayer work, for your rosary work,
and for your visualization – for your
holding the immaculate concept – during
this year of 2008, my beloved.
You see, my beloved, we often talk about cycles
and we have said that 2012 represents an important
growth opportunity for humankind. And I have
said before that there is a need that humankind
be awakened before the year 2012 to how consciousness,
their consciousness, affects everything, my
beloved. And so we might say that there are
cycles within cycles. And there was a cycle
started in 1996 of four four-year cycles leading
up to the year 2012. The first being the identity
realm, the first four years, and then from 2000-2004
the mental, then from 2004 to 2008 the emotional
realm. And now 2008-2012 is where things need
to come into the physical.
Which
means that it is absolutely necessary that humankind
acknowledges – at the conscious, physical
level – the lessons they need to learn.
For if we do not have a critical mass of people
who consciously raise their awareness and acknowledge
the deeper reality that can bring forth a shift
in consciousness – in the collective consciousness
– well then the lesson must be learned
by physical appearances, physical happenings
in anything from Earth changes to climatic changes,
to wars or other forms of dramatic events that
hopefully then will awaken humankind.
This is not to be interpreted as if I am giving
a dire prophecy, my beloved. For I am truly
the optimist, seeing how many people have embraced
the rosaries and how they have made progress.
For, my beloved, if you will look upon yourselves
– those who are here at this conference,
but also those around the world – look
upon yourselves and those you know who are giving
the rosaries, you will see that if you compare
to a year or two ago, you have made progress.
You might look at your outer situation and see
that there has not been many changes. But if
you look at yourself, you will see that many
of you have attained a greater degree of peace,
inner peace my beloved, a peace that passes
understanding. For you have attained that peace
as an independent peace that does not depend
on world conditions. And thus, even though the
world might not be an ideal place, you can still
feel at peace, and feel that peace and optimism
about the future that Saint
Germain spoke about and that we truly desire
all of our students to accept and embrace for
themselves, leaving behind the doubt and fear,
my beloved.
And if you still have some doubt and fear, then
make a habit that whenever you feel that doubt
and fear, you instantly tune in to my Immaculate
Heart, my beloved. And you simply pour or throw
that fear and doubt into my heart and accept
that I will consume it for you. And then you
accept that it is gone and you can now feel
centered and at peace again.
Let the Divine Feminine be restored
in religion
So, my beloved, looking forward to the year
2008, I will describe for you some of the main
issues that we of the Ascended Host would like
to see break through into the physical awareness,
the conscious awareness, of humankind. Let me
begin, my beloved, with the overall issue of
religion.
It is an absolute necessity that in the year
2008, my beloved, humankind begins to reckon
with the fact that a religion that acknowledges
God the Father, but denies or ignores the feminine,
Mother aspect of God is not a balanced religion.
And thus when you look at the history of humankind,
you will see that these so-called monotheistic
religions have often been, if not the cause,
then certainly the outer trigger that provided
the spark that lit the fire of warfare and conflict
among the members of the three main monotheistic
religions.
And
so, my beloved, before the year 2012, it is
necessary that humankind comes to a recognition
of the Divine Mother and the importance of unifying
the Divine Mother and the Divine Father. And
this must begin in the year 2008 with a serious
recognition that the big monotheistic religions
have become completely unbalanced by ignoring
the Divine Mother, by putting women down, and
even making women responsible for the fall.
Which is, as we have explained before, not a
reality but really – to be quite honest
with you, my beloved – an extreme outcome
of the male ego's refusal of responsibility,
thus projecting guilt and responsibility for
the fall upon women, instead of acknowledging
that it is part of the nature of every human
being – male or female – that is
responsible for the fall into duality.
And thus, my beloved, you see the deplorable
situation that those who are trapped in the
mindset of the monotheistic religions, especially
the male members of those religions, are not
willing or able to look at the beam in their
own eyes and cast out that beam. And precisely
because they will not look at that beam, they
go into a state of male pride, my beloved, where
they feel that the only way out of a particular
situation is to attack and destroy those that
they now project as being enemies. Instead of
recognizing that the enemy is, as the popular
saying goes: "We have seen the enemy, and
it is us." For it is the ego that is the
real enemy, not other human beings.
And so, my beloved, we look forward to, in 2008,
a growing awareness that there is a serious
flaw in the monotheistic religions. And that
it must be corrected in this age by a new awareness
of the feminine aspect of God, as a counter-balance
to the misuse of power in the name of control
that you have seen outplayed in all three of
the major monotheistic religions—that
has resulted in so many wars, such as the crusades
and many other atrocities, including modern-day
terrorism.
So,
my beloved, hold the matrix that there will
be an awakening, a growing awareness, of the
Divine Feminine and the importance of incorporating
the Divine Feminine into all aspects of one's
religious and spiritual life, my beloved. Which
of course includes giving men and women completely
equal status in any true religion, so that women
can hold any position and perform any task in
that religion and its hierarchy. For you see,
my beloved, men cannot by themselves get out
of the trap of a male-dominated religion. They
need women to help as a balance, to literally
save them from themselves and their focus on
the masculine aspect of God, which inevitably
leads to an abuse of power even in the name
of God or in the name of some greater good.
And this, my beloved, is, of course, the lie
that has been the justification for so many
atrocities. And you will see – if you
take an honest look at history, my beloved –
that men are more prone to falling prey to this
lie that the ends can justify the means. Whereas
women are more sensitive to life and therefore
often will not accept that it is acceptable
to kill human beings in order to bring about
some supposedly greater good. For they see that
the killing is always wrong and thus cannot
be justified by any cause, no matter how just
it might appear to the male ego.
The need for change in China
Now, my beloved, another issue that we look
forward to seeing being exposed in the year
2008 is an issue that revolves around China.
You see, my beloved, in this coming year you
will have the Olympics in China, which will
focus the world's attention on China. China
and the Chinese leaders believe that this will
become a cause of great national pride, where
they will demonstrate their accomplishments
to the world, even the superiority of their
system—which is a strange mixture of communist
philosophy and materialism and capitalism.
But
you see, my beloved, what we of the Ascended
Host look to see happen is that the Olympics
in China will instead become like a mirror –
a mirror that is held up in front of both China
and the world – and makes everyone realize
that there needs to be serious and dramatic
changes in China before that nation can fulfill
its full potential. And also an awareness in
the world that the world needs to take a much
more nuanced and mature approach to China than
has been taken so far.
My beloved, as just one example of this –
for, truly, many profound changes need to occur
– but as just one example, let me take
the recent awareness in the West that many toys
produced in China contain concentrations of
lead that can be dangerous to children. My beloved,
the awareness that ideally should come out of
this is that so far nations and consumers in
the West have had a completely immature and
irresponsible approach to China. Where consumers
and businesses have approached China as simply
a source of inexpensive goods that could allow
the businesses in the West to make an inordinate
profit while allowing the consumers to have
cheap goods that, as Saint
Germain expounded upon in Colombia, allows
them to feel that they can maintain a certain
standard of living, and thus being able to overlook
or ignore that the value of their labor has
actually been degraded over the last several
decades.
My beloved, one of the positives outcomes of
such a situation could be a greater awareness
among Western consumers, where they begin to
ask themselves, "Are we willing to always
buy the cheapest goods in the store without
considering where and how they were made?"
And my beloved, certainly most people can see
the self-interest that if a particular item
– made in China or some other country
– contains toxic chemicals that can be
dangerous to themselves or their children, well
then they need to be aware of this. But beyond
this we look to an even greater awareness, my
beloved.
For you see, the reality of the matter is, in
fact, that in the West you have a great deal
of laws. You have a great deal of consumer awareness,
you have various consumer organizations, government
watchdog organizations, you have labor unions
and you have an entire system set in place that
is meant to at least give the consumer some
degree of protection against merchandise that
is made without considering the true interest
of the consumer, but only considering how to
generate the greatest amount of profit.
And
so you see, my beloved, that the toys that were
produced and imported from China—had those
toys been produced in the Western world, they
never could have made it to the store shelves
with those concentrations of lead in them because
there would have been protective measures in
place. So you see, my beloved, what has happened
is that the West has now suspended its normal
consumer protection in order to allow companies
to import cheap goods from China and make the
profit that they could not make if those goods
had to be produced in the West. Where, as another
consequence of Western society's level of civilization,
they would have had to pay the workers more
and give the workers good working conditions
and various benefits.
So you see, my beloved, what we desire to see
happen also in the year 2008, is a growing consumer
awareness that when you go into a store, my
beloved, you cannot simply look for the lowest
price. You need to be responsible and say, “Who
produced that item, and what kind of conditions
did those workers have?” How were they
treated by the employers, my beloved? And if
I find that those workers were treated in a
way that I would consider absolutely abhorrent
if those workers lived in my own country, well
then my beloved, I cannot in good conscience
buy that merchandise. For by doing so, I enable
the companies who are exploiting the workers
in distant countries to continue doing so.
And this is not responsible behavior on the
part of Western consumers, my beloved. And so
what actually – ideally – should
happen, my beloved, is that the Western labor
unions—who are somewhat struggling to
redefine themselves. Because they have done
a good job of getting the Western workers good
working conditions and benefits, almost to the
point where in some nations they have partially
made themselves obsolete. And so they are struggling
to redefine a role for themselves.
Well, my beloved, a positive role for labor
unions would be to say, "We cannot in good
conscience allow workers in other countries
to be treated in a way that we would not allow
workers in our own country to be treated. And
if we do not see that labor unions or nations
will enact protective measures for the laborers
in other countries, then we must, as responsible
labor unions, encourage our members and consumers
in our countries to boycott those goods and
to refuse to buy them. And instead buy more
expensive goods that are produced in countries
with more labor and consumer protection."
This
will then force countries, such as China, to
go through a revolution where they say, "We
cannot allow the profit interests to run amok
and thereby exploit our own people. We must
step up and enact protection for our own people,
and also enact laws that spread the wealth among
our entire population. Instead of continuing
to allow a situation that will lead to a very
small elite being incredibly rich and having
control over the means of production, whereas
the majority of the population, such as the
peasants in China, still live under the same
almost starvation conditions that they had a
generation or two ago."
Awaken to the need to transform the
economic system
So you see, my beloved, what would also happen
as a result of this awareness is that the consumers
in the West would wake up and realize that if
they were to buy goods that were manufactured
under reasonable and responsible conditions,
well suddenly their paycheck would not go as
far. And this would then lead them to recognize
the fact that the value of their labor has been
systematically stolen. And therefore, there
is a need for a reawakening among Western consumers
– who have been lulled to sleep, especially
the middle class, by the good, comfortable material
lifestyle – to the fact that there needs
to be some serious and dramatic changes in the
economy. Where Western nations also need to
step up, my beloved, and not allow a small economic
elite to run away with the economy to the point
of killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
And
my beloved, as we have mentioned before, the
rise in real estate prices is a systematic way
by the big banks and mortgage companies to steal
the value of people's labor. For certainly,
my beloved, when the price doubles on a house,
well the amount of interest that the buyer has
to pay during the paying back of a 30-year mortgage
does not simply double—it goes up exponentially,
my beloved. And this means that the consumer
needs to spend an inordinate amount of his or
her income in order to pay back that mortgage—out
of which the vast majority of it is interest
paid to the banks and mortgage companies.
So you see, my beloved, the mortgage companies
and the banks have a selfish interest in allowing
property prices to go up indefinitely, or at
least until you start seeing a collapse, where
the consumers can no longer pay the interest.
And thus, the whole system begins to collapse
under its own weight.
But once again you see, my beloved, that those
who are profiting from such an imbalance in
the economy are not the ones who will wake up
and do something to change it. And that is why
what we need to see, in this year 2008, is a
greater awareness among Western consumers that
they cannot simply let things slide, that they
need to be aware, they need to take responsibility
for all aspects of their society. And they need
to speak out against what they clearly see as
unjust and imbalanced conditions.
For my beloved, one of the major lessons that
humankind needed to learn in the Piscean age,
my beloved, is precisely that there is not one
savior, there is not one person, or one government,
or one organization that will come and save
humanity. For it is the people themselves –
especially the top ten percent, but also the
majority, the top fifty percent of the population
– that must be responsible, that must
awaken themselves and take responsibility for
their society and their nation. For otherwise,
the lowest ten percent will drag their nation
and their civilization into a downward spiral
that will self-destruct according to the second
law of thermodynamics, as we have explained
so many times. But we keep explaining it, my
beloved, because there are so many people in
the world who have not understood this very
elemental truth.
Let the truth be exposed in the American
government
So my beloved, the next item on the agenda for
the year 2008 is specifically related to America
and the American people. It is very important
that, before the end of the Bush presidency,
the American people learn the highest possible
lesson they can learn from these eight years
under the Bush administration.
And this will necessitate the exposure of many
things that the American people rather would
not see about their own government, about their
president, about the administration and about
themselves. Thus, I desire both you who are
the spiritual people in America and those around
the world to make calls in your rosaries and
to hold the image that that which is hidden
shall be revealed, and that that which God wants
to have exposed about the American nation and
the Bush administration will indeed be exposed
in this coming year.
For
my beloved, there are those in the Bush administration
who think that they can keep coasting and glossing
over the many problems until they are out of
office and then it will be forgotten. But we
of the Ascended Host – out of our love
for the American people – want these things
exposed so that the American people can have
the best possible opportunity to learn the lessons
of what happens when you allow your own government
to run amok under the guise of providing national
security in the fight against the external enemy
of terrorism.
I am not denying that there is an external enemy
in the form of militant Islam who have every
intention of creating as much chaos around the
planet as they can. But what I am saying is
that the American people need to see how that
external enemy was blown out of proportion and
used as an excuse for several problems. One
of which, as we have mentioned, was to drag
the American nation and the American military
into being a puppet for the schemes of the international
power elite.
But beyond that I desire you to see also how
this situation has been used as an excuse for
testing the limits of how far the American people
are willing to go in terms of giving up their
civil liberties in the name of national security,
my beloved. And so far I must say that the American
people have been willing to go much further
than they should have gone without protesting
against what are obvious erosions of their civil
liberties—that are not necessary in order
to ensure national security.
You cannot, my beloved, allow your own government
to start a systematic misuse of human rights
– and at the same time allow the government
to systematically cover up that abuse and get
away with covering it up – and then at
the same time think that you can avoid having
an erosion of your own human rights. For as
I have said now several times, those who are
trapped in a certain mindset, my beloved, are
not the ones who will stop their unbalanced
behavior. For they cannot see beyond the mindset.
You see, my beloved, it is very simple. If the
people in your own government were not blinded
by the philosophy that the ends can justify
the means, they would not be violating the human
rights of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay or elsewhere.
And precisely because they are blinded by that
philosophy, you cannot expect them to stop on
their own. You must – as the people –
stand up for your rights and say, "Enough
is enough! We cannot allow this to go on."
Another
thing that needs to be exposed is how this administration
has allowed systematic corruption in and around
the fight against terrorism and especially the
war in Iraq. Where private companies in the
United States have been allowed to make inordinate
profits under the guise of secrecy—for
there was no oversight put in place. And therefore,
my beloved, you have a situation that is very
tantamount to the old saying that "All
power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
You see, my beloved, when you give private companies
the ability to charge the government for their
services without having any oversight of what
services are provided and what reasonable costs
for those services should be, well then these
companies will inevitably think they have entered
the promised land and that they have access
to an infinite source of wealth. For the government
will just keep printing money or raking up national
debt that future generations will have to pay
back.
And so how can you expect a company to put on
the brakes for their own ability to generate
profit? Thus, again, there must be transparency
and oversight. And if you allow the need for
national security to create an atmosphere where
private companies and the government think they
can sweep everything under the rug in the name
of secrecy, well then you will have a systematic
abuse, my beloved, on all levels of the government
and the private sector who are involved in this
situation.
And
again, once they are sucked into this downward
spiral, they cannot extricate themselves, and
thus the public and the media must take up their
role as watchdogs. And you who are the spiritual
people need to make the calls for this. And
you who are the American spiritual people need
to realize, my beloved that you need to let
go of a misguided loyalty to your own nation,
where you are not so concerned about the nation
not being embarrassed. For it is far better
that your nation is embarrassed and learns its
lesson, than you sweep things under the rug
so that your freedoms are systematically taken
away. But it happens so gradually under the
guise of secrecy, that no one realizes what
has happened—until it has reached a critical
mass where it now is much more difficult to
take back your freedoms.
Moderate Muslims must awaken and take a stand
against extremism
Finally, my beloved, an issue that needs to
be brought out in 2008 is, of course, the entire
situation around the Middle East and the broader
area of the Islamic world. It needs to be seen,
my beloved – by people in the Islamic
world especially – that unless the moderate
people in Islam finally in this year rise up
and take a stand against extremism—well
then it will be impossible to stop an escalating
conflict that will literally tear the Islamic
world apart, my beloved.
And you might think that this will lead to a
war against the West, but I tell you it will
not be a war against the West. For once the
cat is out of the bag, so to speak, there will
be so much infighting amongst Islamic nations
that they will have very little energy, weapons
and attention left over for fighting against
the West, being so concerned about first killing
their own brothers.
And
so you need to see that if there is not a dramatic
shift in the collective consciousness in the
Islamic world in the year 2008, well then it
will be almost impossible to prevent that kind
of a conflict that you saw outpictured in the
movie about Al Andalus,* where you saw the Islamic
factions fighting against each other, and thereby
fracturing the kingdom they had established
in Spain. And I can assure you that there will
be a great fracturing of the Islamic world,
where entire nations could potentially disappear
and dissolve into smaller areas, each ruled
by their certain chieftain or warlord who is
against all others.
And so you see, such an upheaval is the potential
in the Islamic world, that it will literally
be like the scorched earth, where entire cities
can be destroyed, entire cultures can be almost
wiped away. My beloved, you who are the spiritual
people who are outside the Islamic world need
to hold the vision that there will be an exposure
of the flaws in the entire approach to spirituality
in the Islamic world, including how they have
lost or destroyed the Divine Feminine.
You need to hold the matrix, my beloved, that
women in the Islamic world will finally wake
up and begin to make their voices heard. For
again, the changes that need to happen in the
Islamic world are so dramatic that they will
not come from the men who are blinded by the
male ego—of thinking that their monotheistic
religion is the only true religion, and that
their approach to that religion is the only
true approach. So it is only the women –
and a small percentage of the men who have attained
balance – who have the potential to speak
out and bring about balance, a more balanced
approach.
This,
my beloved, is of course an issue that will
require major prayer support from those outside
the Islamic world. For my beloved, what was
it precisely you saw in the recent assassination
in Pakistan? It was not so much an assassination
of a particular politician, but an attempt to
assassinate the influence of women in politics
and religion in the Islamic world. It was an
attempt to stop the moderating, balancing influence
of the female element in the Islamic world.
And to continue the several thousand year old
cycle of systematically suppressing not just
women in a physical sense, but actually suppressing
the Divine Feminine. And thereby creating imbalance
after imbalance, conflict after conflict, where
there seems to be no purpose, there seems to
be no end in sight—but it is simply the
male ego having become a closed system, and
therefore creating one self-destructive situation
after another, not being able to stop it.
And thus, you need to hold, my beloved, the
matrix, the vision, and make the calls that
the Islamic world is finally awakened. And whatever
it takes to awaken that Islamic world –
even if it causes some major embarrassment,
my beloved – you need to hold the vision
that sometimes it is necessary – because
people are so trapped – it is necessary
to allow some major calamity to occur that finally
awakens people to the need to do something different.
A new role for the Divine Mother
So, my beloved, certainly these are not the
only issues that need to be brought to humankind's
attention in the year 2008. But they are the
major ones that I want to give to you at this
point. And in order to not overwhelm you, I
will then give more as the year progresses and
as we see the constructive need for bringing
forth more teachings on this issue.
But the overall message I give to you, my beloved,
is that I, Mary, will take on a new role beginning
in this year 2008, of being more active, more
direct, more outspoken, more like the tigress
who defends her cubs, more like the image of
Kali that you see in the East—of the Divine
Feminine defending her offspring against those
who seek to devour them.
For I will indeed speak out more clearly than
I have done so far. Even to the point of transforming
my website into a different and a more direct
exposure of the Divine Feminine, and the need
to bring the Divine Feminine into the spiritual
life of this planet in order to provide a balance
to the male-dominated approach to religion—that
truly can produce nothing but conflict, and
would only produce greater and greater conflict
if it is not balanced by the feminine in all
human beings.
Thus,
my beloved, with gratitude for your willingness
to provide a platform that allowed me to bring
forth this address, I seal you in the heart
of the Divine Mother, in the fierceness of my
heart. For the Mother will indeed defend her
own against all those who seek to devour them.
And I can assure you, my beloved, that whereas
you might – in the male-dominated religions
– think of God the Father as all-powerful,
I can assure you that God the Mother is all-powerful
in the matter realm. For God the Mother is not
separated from God the Father. God the Mother
IS God the Father expressing itself in the material
realm.
Thus, God IS Father, God IS Mother—never
one without the other. And this truth is what
needs to be acknowledged by humankind in these
coming years. And I, Mary – as the
representative of the Divine Mother for Earth
– will certainly do my part to get that
message across.
Thus, be sealed in the love of my heart and
receive the fire of the Divine Mother as an
impetus for yourself, for your own growth, but
for your own willingness to start fulfilling
your divine plans and speaking out in this coming
year, and the coming years. So that we together
can be as above so below, and bring forth the
message that the Divine Mother is back—and
she is here to stay!
* The participants watched a documentary called
Cities
of Light: The Rise & Fall of Islamic Spain.
It depicts a society in medieval Spain, named
Al-Andalus, in which Muslims, Jews and Christians
lived together in harmony and prosperity because
there was mutual respects and tolerance between
the members of various religions.
The
Rosary
for World Change, 2008 is based
on this message and is a powerful way to make
calls on the issues raised by Mother Mary.
